As a students' union officer you'll have the chance to represent your peers and bring about the changes you'd like to see. Discover how standing in student elections can also boost your career

Participating in an extra-curricular activity while at university has substantial career benefits; yet graduate employers often look for something more. Assuming a more active role within the students' union, or it's numerous societies and sports clubs, is a good idea.

There are many elected roles available, with some requiring greater involvement than others. While societies and sports clubs host voluntary elected positions to run alongside your studies, the students' union offers numerous paid, full-time sabbatical roles - such as president, vice-president, education officer and welfare officer- that can be held for one or two years.

'I decided to run for election because I was passionate about the impact that student activities (such as sports clubs and societies) can have on a student's experience and I wanted to promote this as much as possible, says Daniella Quill, president of the Union of Students at the University of Derby.

Here are a few things you should consider before running for student election

1. Tell them that you have a good history.

2. You are aware of the rules and regulations so you can help them when they get in trouble.

3. Tell that you have a good image among teachers, so if you are speaking on behalf of students, the teachers are more likely to agree.

4. Tell that you will be available to them when they need help.

5. Tell that you will not discriminate any student, you will treat them equally.
